Histoy of language

The language of instruction or commonly called Lingua Franca (Latin meaning "language of the Franks") is a linguistic term that means "language of instruction" or "lingua franca" in a place where there are speakers of different languages. Ayatrohaedi translate this term by term basantara, of the word "base" or "language" and "between". Besides that, the language of instruction is also used as the language of the preamble in the ordinary and scientific activities. In every country there are many depending on the language of the early history of the formation of the country.

Language is something that is used to facilitate communication in daily life and is a collective agreement. Language can be divided into three: general language, body language and sign language. Common language is the language used by normal people or people who do not have a deficiency in communication. Body language is the language used by or for people who have a deficiency in terms of the ability to speak or hear that could only move but can not communicate normally. Sign language is the language used by or for the people who do not have the normal ability to move normally or to communicate, so can not use a common language or body language. In theory, a language created by shared needs between people or others in order to facilitate communication, because it is a collective agreement, the language has a lot of the stuff is based on mutual agreement. Examples of languages ​​are Indonesian, English, Chinese, Arabic, and others.

The use of language can be used in every place, for example when shopping, playing, talking and even using an object. One thing that is very fatal if the language is not used in daily life. For example when a man who was buying food at the store, then he should understand what the shop owner said, either in a common language or language that is very rarely used. Another unusual circumstances when, for example, when an accident where the victim can not communicate unusual sign language should be used in accordance with agreed.

Commonly used language on the basis of an agreement or a mutual desire of the communicators. common language has some rules that need to be obeyed to make communication run smoothly. In one case, when a person who comes from one country to meet with people from other countries. In this case there needs to be an agreement between such persons. If there is no agreement then the communication will not run smoothly. For example, people who use Indonesian (Indonesia) met with the Chinese who use the Chinese language will not happen because of a communication there is no common understanding when using the language. The results of the two men will not see the point in talks. If it does not have the understanding that at any time until there will be no agreement unless they already understand each other's language.

In the daily life we ​​may not need to use language that is agreed upon by all people in the world because of the daily lives of people who only exist around us that will be encountered such as parents, friends, employees or others. World language is a language that is agreed upon by people around the world as a spoken language of the world. Generally agreed that the language Arabic, Chinese and English language. In addition to the three languages ​​of the world there has never been any other agreed additional language. But sometimes the more dominant English language used in the world because English is easier to learn than Arabic and Chinese. In addition, the state also has many English colonies so that the colonies adopted the English language as the national language. Therefore the more dominant English language used in the world.

History of english

English is a Germanic language that was first spoken in Britain in the Middle Ages and the Early today is the most common language used throughout the world. English is spoken as a first language by the majority of the population in many countries, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and a number of Caribbean countries as well as the official language in nearly 60 sovereign countries. English is the native language third most widely spoken around the world, after Mandarin and Spanish. English is also used as a second language and the official language of the European Union, the Commonwealth, and the United Nations (UN), as well as a variety of other organizations (Wikipedia, 2014).

English was first developed in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England and in areas that currently make up the Scottish southeast. After the expansion of British influence in the 17th century and the 20th through the British Empire, the English language is widespread throughout the world. In addition, the wide use of English is also caused by the spread of culture and technology that dominates in the United States throughout the 20th century. These things have led to the current English language became the major language and are not formally regarded as a lingua franca in many parts of the world.

Language agreement

Historically, English originated from diverse melting related dialects, which currently are collectively known as Old English, which were brought to the eastern coast of the island Britain by Germanic settlers (Anglo-Saxons) in the 5th century; said English 'is derived from the name Angles. The Anglo-Saxons tribe itself comes from the region of Angeln (currently Schleswig-Holstein, Germany). Early English also influenced by the Old Norse language after the Vikings conquered England in the 9th century and 10th (Wikipedia, 2014).

Moreover, the language of instruction is also very important in our daily life, whether to communicate or express. Due to the absence of the language of instruction then a conversation will not be started. An example there are two people who meet, if they do not start a conversation then there will be a communication. Therefore, there needs to be the language of instruction to initiate a communication.

So it can be concluded that the agreement language is a language that is agreed upon by two or more persons to conduct a conversation. The talks were conducted can be formal or informal depending on the initial talks began. In terms of starting the conversation is very important to use the language of instruction as described previously so that the conversation can be organized and run in accordance with desired.
